Not great quality photo, kind of a mess. But it’s mainly Inglewood 13 and East side Verdugo Valley Gang crossing each other out.

Lol yeah I am crazy and probably pretty strange for doing what I do. Every time I think I “retire”, I end up at it again. But there’s fools wayyy crazier out there than me, as I’ve seen on Instagram. Guys like LA hood strike ups, Lacstreetart, hoodlum society, etc (too many to name) that get real good quality photos, and some of them do get into them alleys, under bridges, train tracks, you name it. I just don’t see how they have the gas money to get so many pics per day.

Haha you never really know how you’ll be greeted for taking pics. Some hoods want you to and others just might take a shot at you.
One of them dudes from Instagram was saying he got caught taking pictures in Diamond Street hood and explained what he was doing and they ended being all friendly and told him he’s welcomed anytime in their hood. LOL. It could’ve gone badly depending on who catches you.

Honestly don’t know. I just happened to drive down baseline one day and noticed a lot of Inglewood 13 hit ups. Then came back a few weeks later and noticed they were hitting up like crazy everything east of waterman ave.

It seems to me like that spot east of waterman on baseline is the landing spot for LA gangs that try to set up shop in SB.

Early/mid 90’s- Eastside 13
Early2000’s-King Blvd Stoners
Mid 2000’s-Florencia 13
And maybe now Inglewood 13?

Already have a couple saves, just didn’t post them because the writing was too shitty and another one is cut off, but they’re in the mix wallbanging among ING13, WSV MVR, ESV Valley and Meadowbrook.

Lol. I fuck up a lot in my posts, even after I reread it. And in my mind if I were to abbreviate Congress I’d probably use CG but I know they’ve always used CR st.

This picture here I found from a 1979 article from the San Bernardino sun newspaper. 38th Street graffiti. I posted it to the Instagram a while back, people were curious as to what M’S would’ve meant back in those days. I feel like I should know this but can’t think of what it is.

I also like how back in those days, the paper would mention the gangs names a lot, and even post their graffiti. Nowadays, they rarely mention the actual gang and would never post their hit ups because they feel like it gives the gang more notoriety.
